Searching for Site Content

If you have a hard time finding things in a site, you can use the Search box to help you locate it. Simply, go to the site, enter the information you want to find in the Search box, and then press Enter, or click the Search button (Magnifying Glass icon). If you want to perform a more focused search, you can select a search option. In the Search box, click the Navigation list arrow, and then select an option: Everything, People, Conversations, or This Site. In the results page (New!), a brief portion of the search results content appears in a list. You can redefine the search, click a link to open the item, or point to an item to display a callout window with a preview (New!), information, and options.
